The Flying What?!

I literally stopped mid-lecture the other day when I saw one of my students wearing a "Flying Burrito Brothers" t-shirt in front of me to ask him about it. "No one" in the 1970s knew who they were, so it was pretty shocking to see their name on the shirt of a 20-year-old in 2008.

UPDATE: Did you know that "Sneaky Pete" Kleinow of the FBBs did special effects for Gumby, Davey and Goliath, The Outer Limits, The Empire Strikes Back, Gremlins, The Right Stuff, The Terminator, and Terminator 2.
